For still being cross at DP regarding sickening video? (graphic detail)

Last night DP said to me he had a video online he wanted me to see. I asked what it was and he said to just watch it. So I started watching it and it appeared to be a large ocean type animal thrashing around in water. I asked again what it was and he said to keep watching. The video zoomed out and I realised there was a lot of screaming going on in the background and what appeared to be a person in the water with the animal. I said "what on earth is this?" and he said "just a few more seconds". It then descended into a horrifying video of what looked like a whale repeatedly attacking the person in the water as people watched in horror screaming and running around frantically trying to get the person out. On more than one occasion this giant whale threw itself onto the person, dragged the person around by the arm and swam into the person violently. When it cut out I was really cross at DP and asked again what the hell the video was supposed to be showing and he said it was a video of a whale trainer being killed at seaworld.
I felt physically sick after realising the person had died seconds later, went to bed thinking about it and it's still on my mind this morning.

We're supposed to be visiting Seaworld in May. DP said I needed to see "the truth" about these places (he has always been against us going to the park) but I feel he could have made his point better than this. AIBU? I can't get it out of my head Sad

I am going against the majority, i would find this hugely patronising.

If he had tell you 'please i want you to watch this video to understand my point' and warned you about it, it would be ok. But saying to you 'just keep watching' ? Fucking superiority complex.

mrsd thats what she said Grin

You both have a point.

I gave my dog a 'baby' name because I thought I wasnt having anymore children so I wanted to use it up. Then I had another baby and had to think of something else to call him!

I have just named my cat Tallulah because we are not having anymore babies. It was my girl's name. This time we WONT be having to think of new names though Smile

OMG I must have child-replacement-by-animal tendencies ?!

Even though I have children ? Confused

I didn't give my animals 'baby' names, I just used the books to find one, iyswim ?
